Cool People

I’ve broomed the footprints
Cleared the cobwebs
My day is dead
And I don’t mean “day is done”
I mean it’s gone, all gone
How could I just explain this to you?
You: replacing dawn?

Flashback to Texas
The leaves don’t really change down there
I swear
So days, they just bleed
Some days, they just fade back
To back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back
It’s too bad, so sad

So what else is there?
That’s the question
I’ve got no answer here
Time circles round the drain
And I’m still bathed in vain, all in vain
How could I take this back from you?
You: the constant rain?

Flashback to Texas
The leaves don’t really change down there
I swear
So days, they just bleed
Some days, they just fade back
To back-to-back-to-back-to-back-to-back
It’s too bad, so sad

Complete the chorus
And find the forest’s changed
At last,
It’s past

WAYWARD BOUND

I wrote this song for my wife over 20yrs ago before we reconnected. We were living states away from each other but spoke on the phone every night for months until I made the decision to finally move out to where she lived to start a new life together. The song describes the feelings I was going through during that time before reconnecting with her.

Recorded in a basement using an 8 track tape recorder.

u know that too

Und doch irgendwie anders

I discovered my love for music at the age of 8 and began playing guitar around 14 years old. I helped form my first band in middle school back in the early 90s. I began singing and writing my own music around the age of 17, and by my 30s, I had played in a few different rock-style bands. I had a rough childhood growing up with a single mom and my younger brother, so life wasn't always the best, but playing my guitar and writing music helped me get through those hard times. I was always drawn to hard rock and heavy metal. I do think my sound was highly influenced by the grunge rock style music I grew up listening to. "I love to play my guitar and write songs, but there’s no better feeling than to see someone else enjoy what I've created".
